SDCC Scalping

Look at the pic of the SCALPER with all the Mattel bags filled with SDCC Webarella dolls from "take5aday.com".  This person bought TWENTY.  The limit is six.  So why the heck did this fool get 20?

I've heard "he bought them for friends."  Yeah right.  I'm so touched by that, but don't you think 20 is a bit excessive?  Especially when you know this person got in line early to get all of these?  That most of the other people who only wanted ONE for themselves or a friend won't get them because of this greedy scalper?  Oh and did I mention the jerk had them ALL autographed too?  Try and tell me none of these will be resold for at least $300 or more.  Please, give me all the details.  We ALL want to get this and that for our friends who can't come to SDCC.  But rules are rules.  There was a limit of six of an item which should be ENFORCED.  I don't give a rat's back end who the person is.  I could care less if  he is the son of the company president, has special needs, etc.  NO EXCEPTIONS.  Personally I think even six is too many.  These things are already ultra limited and manufacturers know that.  I would prefer a limit of maybe three at most. 


Oh and special thanx to Mattel for showing us customers how much you DON'T care.
